Hi guys, I know this is off-topic here since its a game forum. But since we are all men here, well most of us are anyway I imagine. I thought I could ask this question here and post my stuff here, I need some help with my car set up since I know not another soul who drives accept my dad but he knows nothing about cars just like me, I mean I had to even check the manual and the tag on my car just to see what kind of car I had Hah. So with that in mind I took the car to the garage said to the man I wanted this thing maxed out to maximum performance for track days and Rally cross races. He said okay and gave me 49 options to choose from.

After looking at the car, he gave me a list of modifications he could make within a month that would boost the car performance. I would also like some advice on getting my official race licences. Maybe how exactly how to go about getting them, is it just straight tothe driving school and pass the test?, need your own car to do the test or is it provided for you?. What does the test consist off?.What type of licence do I need?, I think it's class A and B, but I'm not 100% sure. I can't find any decent websites to explain it all very clearly.How much does it cost and do I need to re-new the licence every year or so.. where do I go to do the tests, only school I know off so far isAlfa Romeo school but I'm not sure if their classes pass you for the entire world instead of just the UK.. I would like my licences to be international.

My question is. As I know nothing about cars, I just love to drive them is all. if it brakes down I call the mechanic. I need to know from the guys here if the list of mods he gave me were in-fact perfect and okay for this car and if any of them are not needed and just adding them to rip me off for more money. But if they are all okay and will do something even if little, that is fine I will keep it. If not let me know so I can send him the list back with whatever is not needed scratched off so I can save some money. I have around £20,000 to spend on the mods so saving could help. By the way I also have a small Ford Focus that I will be adding the same mods to if the guy says they are compatible with the Ford. The Honda will be for Track and Rally. The Ford will be for Hatchback weekends and Rally cross. Thanks for help guys, really need it.

I forgot to say, that he also offered to change up the engine in the car to something more powerful, but I'm really un-sure about that option since I don't knowhow much of an impact that will have on the car either in an negative or positive way, yes it may have a higher top speed, but it could change how the carhandles and feels to me along with not gelling 100% with the rest of the mods, if the engine is too fast for the car I've seen on race days the car just handleslike a truck around corners and wobbles badly on straights at top speed and people spinning out. I may not know much about car mechanics but I sure knowhow to drive them well, and I can always tell when something is off with my car, I've won more than a few races already so I know how I like the car to feel.So I wouldn't like my car to change too much feel wise. Although I know most of these mods will change the car massively, I guess I'll have to get used to it.

Here is the list (if all are good, I will get all of them added to my two cars) If some are wrong, please say why they are wrong, or will not be compatible. Then give me a similar option that will work with the other mods and do a similar job as the mod that would not work. So I can ask the guy to add that mod instead if he says I cannot choose the wrong one also. Thanks.

I've been learning Map knowledge, learn how to read a rally map or get lost or crash when you hit a tree or fence. Simulator, I have been using a Simulator system to drive in rally sessions to practice my reaction times, tutor my self in acceleration and braking times. Learning how to drift and slide on dirt. I've taken part in several rally cross lessons (as a passenger to learn). Anything else I need to learn for these type of events please let me know, I think I got it all down so far, missed anything would be nice to be alerted now before I take my licence tests.

So this is it, I think I have the car, I think I learned enough, can't learn anymore until I actually get into the car and race for real. So if you all think this is the right car and if there is nothing else I need after the modifications are installed, it's time to race. Thanks for all feedback I always like to make sure I have the correct or a decent set up, I don't want to go to track day with the wrong set up and get last.

It looks to me you are just trying to show off. Well, I don't think someone can help you with what you need, as it has not that much in common with normal driving we are (all) used to. (Some members aren't even driving yet.. )Anyway, nice car.. and probably good hobby to spend your time with. I am just in love with Shelby GT500.. so maybe you should just take this one - even without all the mods.

What kind of racing do you wish to do? Diffrent motorsports have diffrent rules on whats allowed and not, so its very hard to do anything, without having a clue of what you're actually trying to do. But for pretty much all motorsports, a rollcage is required to enter, so thats a good start.
